Jyl Sullivan

Jyl Sullivan

Jyl Sullivan, 68, died peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday,
May 6th 2014 in her home in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Jyl was born on October 29, 1946 to the late Cecil William and
Mahelen Julia Hester McCullars in Tyler, TX.

Jyl was raised in Tyler, Texas. She worked as a Clinical
Social Worker for 30 years in Saratoga Springs. She enjoyed cooking, music,
animals, travel, reading, poetry, painting and general hilarity. She was known
for her wit, humor, and propensity to burst into song.

Just today found out about Jyl's passing. Words cannot express what a fabulous and amazing woman she was. I will miss her dearly and always love her. I am eternally grateful for all she did. Her words of wisdom and kindness will always be helping me. My most sincerest sympathies to her loved ones. Rarely in life do we encounter a beautiful star like Jyl.

I sadly just found out today of your passing.. by chance. There are so many things that I want to say.. so many memories and so many moments passing through my mind as if on a film real projected onto a screen. I am so heartbroken. Thank you for all of your guidance and support you provided me over the last 17 years. The clarity and courage you have instilled in me. You knew me when I was just a young girl and watched me grow and develop into a young woman. I credit you for giving me the guts be myself, and to never take any crap from anyone EVER.....LITERALLY. Thank you for making me laugh at myself..and always staying true to number 1.. ME. .I will always "watch my head" and remember your SPOT on advise ... "No one knows what to do with you Vikki.. and I think its funny... and you should think its funny too.." You were a one of a kind, unique and genuinely happy person that I have had the HONOR of knowing...Your mission in life.. was certainly fulfilled I have a feeling wherever you are now..its a paradise.. and i'm certainly sure your doing it in style with your Texas cowboy boots haha. Thank you for blessing my life and helping to realize how MUCH its worth living... without you I wouldn't have been the same....Love, Vikki
